Namo Tv

NaMo TV - a BJP-backed television channel meant for publicising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rallies and political messages - was pulled off air two days before the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections, news agency PTI quoted party sources as saying today.

The chief electoral officer of Delhi has sent a notice to the BJP for "airing election-related content" on NaMo TV even after the silence period began, a senior official said Saturday.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sought permission from the Chief Electoral Office of Delhi to air two movies -- Padman and Toilet-Ek Prem Katha -- on NaMo TV, officials said today.

NaMo TV, sponsored by the BJP, cannot display "election matter" during the silence period prescribed in the electoral law in a particular phase of the poll, the Election Commission has concluded.

The BJP has assured the Delhi Chief Electoral Office that only pre-authorised content will air on NaMo TV and submitted content for certification, sources said

The political content being aired on 'NaMo TV' has not been pre-certified and cannot be aired, the Election Commission has written to the Delhi Chief Electoral Officer.

Delhi Chief Electoral office had approved the logo of NaMo TV, which the BJP said is a part of NaMo app owned by it, but did not "certify" the content since it contained old speeches of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, officials said.

NaMo TV, the 24-hour channel promoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha polls that begin tomorrow, cannot keep airing such content while the code of conduct is in place, Election Commission sources have told NDTV, referring to the panel's order stopping the release of a biopic glorifying the Prime Minister. The channe...

The Election Commission is learnt to have directed the Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi on Tuesday to ensure that the contents of NaMo TV are pre-certified by the local media certification and monitoring committee.

Since its launch last Sunday, NaMo TV - a channel dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaign for Lok Sabha elections - has been at the heart of an intense debate.

NaMo TV, a channel exclusively featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speeches and pro-BJP content in the middle of the national election campaign, is available on most DTH platforms without a license and in possible violation of the poll code. A tweet from DTH service provider Tata Sky, which called NaMo TV a "Hindi news service", deepened the c...

NaMo TV, the channel exclusively featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speeches and pro-BJP content, is an "advertising platform" that does not need the government's approval, sources in the Information and Broadcasting ministry have told NDTV. The ministry has been asked for a report by the Election Commission following opposition complaints ag...

The Congress on Monday moved the Election Commission (EC) against the BJP's alleged "misuse" of Doordarshan in broadcasting certain speeches by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and for using "Namo channel" as a tool for political campaigning.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has written to the Election Commission against the "NaMo TV", a television channel named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Most absurdly, if it is being treated as a government-sponsored channel, and receiving government advertisements, then it is clearly a case of government money going into electioneering at the time when the model code of conduct is in operation. How blatant a violation of rules and of propriety can one expect to see?
